The Position
We believe that poverty is a solvable problem. We're looking for an enthusiastic, idealistic engineer who wants to write code that meaningfully impacts the human condition. The ideal candidate will blend meticulous code craftsmanship with a keen product sense to answer the question: “How can I leverage technology to give dignified work to the impoverished in our global economy?” If you understand the value of TDD, love to solve problems by pairing with your peers, and are comfortable owning features from conception to launch, we need your help to re-imagine work.
The Product
We're building the SamaHub, a global distributed microwork platform customized to our unique ecosystem. This is a big space with lots of unsolved technical problems, here are a few we're trying to solve:
- Intelligent task allocation and adaptive workflow
- Distributed, collaborative on-the-job training/mentoring
- Remote rural content delivery
- Operational and platform scalability
Responsibilities
- Write elegant, high quality, unit-tested code (be prepared to send in samples of work that you're proud of, bonus points for contributions to open source projects)
- Own new platform components from conception to deployment
- Proactively communicate with agents and customers to understand and fix problems
- Fearlessly learn new technologies and comprehend new problem spaces
- Share your work with internal and external stakeholders in team meetings and at conferences
